[WIP] Add backend workflow integration module for TCS

[Copilot]

Coding agent has begun work on **💬 Prompt for GitHub Copilot:

I’m building a backend workflow integration module for the Tazama Connection Studio (TCS) project using NestJS + TypeScript.
The goal is to integrate with a remote Flowable BPM engine over REST APIs to handle the Editor → Approver → Publisher approval lifecycle for endpoint configurations.

Build this module end-to-end exactly as described:

───────────────────────────────
✅ MODULE NAME
flowable (with service, controller, DTOs, and module registration)

✅ REQUIREMENTS

1. Use @nestjs/axios and firstValueFrom for HTTP calls.
2. Base URL for Flowable REST: ${process.env.FLOWABLE_URL}/flowable-rest/service
3. Default Basic Auth using FLOWABLE_USER and FLOWABLE_PASS env vars, but code should be easily swappable for JWT in the future.
4. Strongly-typed DTOs validated with class-validator.
5. Use clean error handling and consistent JSON responses.

───────────────────────────────
✅ ENDPOINTS (in WorkflowController)

POST /workflow/start
→ Starts a process instance with variables: configId, tenantId, initiator.
→ Calls Flowable POST /runtime/process-instances.

GET /workflow/tasks?role=<role>
→ Fetches all pending user tasks for a given role using GET /runtime/tasks?candidateGroup=.

POST /workflow/complete
→ Completes a task with arbitrary variables using POST /runtime/tasks/{taskId}`.

Return each response in a consistent JSON format:
{
"success": true,
"message": "...",
"data": { ... }
}

───────────────────────────────
✅ FILE STRUCTURE

src/
├─ flowable/
│ ├─ flowable.module.ts
│ ├─ flowable.service.ts
│ ├─ workflow.controller.ts
│ └─ dto/
│ ├─ start-process.dto.ts
│ └─ complete-task.dto.ts

flowable.module.ts → imports HttpModule, exports FlowableService.
flowable.service.ts → implements startProcess(), getTasksForRole(), completeTask().
workflow.controller.ts → exposes /workflow APIs.
DTOs → typed, validated, minimal.

───────────────────────────────
✅ EXAMPLE USAGE (for testing via Postman)

POST /workflow/start
{
"configId": "cfg-001",
"tenantId": "acme",
"initiator": "editor@acme"
}

GET /workflow/tasks?role=approver

POST /workflow/complete
{
"taskId": "123-abc",
"variables": { "approvalStatus": "approved", "remarks": "Ready for deployment" }
}

───────────────────────────────
✅ STYLE & BEST PRACTICES
• Follow NestJS conventions (Controller + Service + Module).
• Use dependency injection for HttpService.
• Apply async/await and proper typing (Promise<any> or typed interfaces).
• Ensure responses and error messages are uniform.
• Add minimal logging statements for visibility.
• Include a clear JSDoc header in each file explaining purpose.

───────────────────────────────
✅ BONUS (optional)
Add a FLOWABLE_DEBUG=true check to log REST payloads and responses in console for local debugging.

───────────────────────────────
Goal: produce clean, production-ready, strongly-typed, modular code that I can drop into the TCS backend to orchestrate workflow state transitions between Editor, Approver, and Publisher using Flowable REST API.

User: #codebase why does simulation/ how doe sit work
AI: Here's a concise explanation of the simulation/ folder in your codebase:

Purpose of simulation/

The simulation/ directory is designed to provide a sandboxed environment for simulating workflow processes, tasks, and business logic without affecting production data or live workflows. It allows developers and testers to run, debug, and validate workflow scenarios using mock data and controlled conditions.

How It Works

• Simulation Service (
  AI: ):
  This service contains logic to create, execute, and monitor simulated workflow instances. It typically mimics the behavior of the real workflow engine but uses test data and may bypass certain integrations (e.g., external APIs, audit logging).

• Simulation Controller (
  AI: ):
  Exposes REST endpoints for starting simulations, retrieving simulation results, and managing simulation runs. You can trigger workflow simulations via API calls.

• Simulation Module (
  AI: ):
  Registers the simulation service and controller with NestJS, making the simulation endpoints available in your backend.

Typical Workflow

1. Start Simulation:
   An API call to the simulation controller starts a new simulated workflow instance, using either predefined or user-supplied mock data.

2. Process Execution:
   The simulation service executes the workflow logic, including task assignments, transitions, and variable updates, just like the real engine.

3. Result Retrieval:
   You can query the simulation endpoints to get the current state, history, and results of the simulated workflow.

4. Debugging & Validation:
   Developers use simulation to test new BPMN models, business rules, or integration logic before deploying to production.

Why Is It Useful?

• Safe Testing: No risk to production data or live processes.
• Rapid Iteration: Quickly validate workflow changes and business logic.
• Debugging: Isolate and troubleshoot workflow issues in a controlled environment.
• Demo/Training: Demonstrate workflow features to stakeholders without real data.

User: how is simulation and dry run working for right now
AI: Here’s how simulation and dry run are currently working in your codebase:

---

Simulation & Dry Run: Current State

1. Simulation

• The simulation/ module provides a way to run workflow processes in a sandboxed, non-production environment.
• It uses mock data and bypasses real integrations (like external APIs or audit logs).
• The simulation service mimics the real workflow engine, executing BPMN logic, task assignments, and transitions, but does not persist results to production tables.
• You can trigger simulations via REST endpoints in the simulation controller, passing in test data or selecting a workflow to simulate.
• Results (process state, task history, variable changes) are returned for inspection, debugging, or validation.

2. Dry Run

• A dry run is a special type of simulation where the workflow is executed step-by-step, but no changes are committed to the database or external systems.
• The dry run logic typically uses the same engine as simulation, but with extra checks to ensure no side effects (no writes, no external calls).
• It’s used to validate workflow logic, check for errors, and preview outcomes before actual execution.
• Dry run endpoints may accept a workflow definition and input variables, then return the expected process path, task assignments, and output variables.

3. Integration with FlowableService

• The main
  AI: does not directly handle simulation or dry run; these are handled by the dedicated simulation service/module.
• However, the simulation service may use the same engine and task services as
  AI: , but with mock or in-memory data sources.

4. Current Limitations

• Simulations and dry runs do not affect production data.
• Some integrations (e.g., audit logging, external APIs) are stubbed or skipped.
• The simulation logic is ideal for testing new BPMN models, business rules, or debugging workflow issues.

---

Summary:
Simulation and dry run allow you to safely test and validate workflow logic, using the same engine as production but with mock data and no side effects. They are triggered via dedicated endpoints and are isolated from real data and integrations.

If you want to see the actual code or flow for simulation/dry run, let me know!
User: does simulation check mapping and where exactly and how does it concat and check
AI: Here’s how simulation checks mapping, and how concatenation and validation work in your codebase:

---

1. Does Simulation Check Mapping?

Yes, simulation checks mapping logic. When you run a simulated workflow (or a dry run), the simulation service executes the same mapping logic as the production workflow engine. This includes:

• Field mapping (source → destination)
• Transformation rules (e.g., CONCAT, SUM, CONSTANT, etc.)
• Validation of mapping results

2. Where Exactly Is Mapping Checked?

• Mapping is checked in the workflow engine/service layer.
• During simulation, the engine loads the mapping configuration (from the config or schema) and applies it to the input data.
• The mapping logic is typically implemented in a service like
  AI: , which is used by both real and simulated runs.
• The simulation service calls the same mapping functions, but with mock/test data.

3. How Does Concatenation Work?

• If a mapping rule specifies
  AI: , the engine will:
  • Collect all source fields specified in the mapping.
  • Join their values together using a delimiter (if specified).
  • Assign the concatenated result to the destination field.
• Example:
  If mapping says { source: ['firstName', 'lastName'], destination: 'fullName', transformation: 'CONCAT', delimiter: ' ' },
  then simulation will produce fullName = firstName + ' ' + lastName.

4. How Is Mapping Validation Performed?

• After applying mapping and transformations, the engine (and simulation) checks:
  • Required fields are present.
  • Data types match the schema.
  • Any custom validation rules (e.g., regex, length, enum values).
• If validation fails, simulation will report errors or warnings, just like a real run.

5. Where Is This Logic in the Code?

• The actual mapping and transformation logic is usually in:

AI: (for process execution)

AI: or similar (for file/data mapping)

• Simulation service calls these same functions, but with test/mock data.

---

Summary:
Simulation uses the same mapping logic as production. It checks mappings, applies transformations (like CONCAT), and validates results. All this happens in the workflow engine/service layer, and simulation simply runs the same code with mock data.

If you want to see the exact code for mapping or concatenation, let me know and I’ll show you the relevant functions!
User: in current simulatrion work except services
AI: In your current setup, simulation works by reusing the same core workflow engine, mapping, and BPMN logic as production, but with a few key differences:

---

How Simulation Works (Excluding Services)

1. Module Structure

   • The simulation module (not shown here, but typically
     AI: ) imports the same workflow engine, delegates, and task services as the main
     AI: .
   • It does not use separate simulation-specific services for mapping, BPMN parsing, or process execution. Instead, it calls the real engine with test/mock data.

2. Process Execution

   • When you run a simulation, the engine loads the BPMN process definition (e.g.,
     AI: ) and executes it as if it were a real workflow.
   • All mapping, transformation, and validation logic is applied exactly as in production.

3. Data Isolation

   • Simulation runs use mock or in-memory data sources, so no changes are written to production tables.
   • Any database writes, audit logs, or external API calls are either stubbed, skipped, or redirected to test endpoints.

4. Result Reporting

   • The simulation returns the process state, task history, and mapping results for inspection.
   • Errors, warnings, and validation results are reported just like a real run, but nothing is persisted.

5. No Service Overrides

   • The simulation does not override or replace the core services (
     AI: ,
     AI: , etc.).
   • It simply calls these services with test data, ensuring the same logic is exercised.

---

Summary:
Simulation in your codebase works by running the real workflow engine and mapping logic with mock/test data, without affecting production. It does not use separate simulation services for mapping or BPMN execution—everything is shared with production, except for the data sources and side effects.

User: in simularion how does that folder work does it check mapping
AI: Here’s how the simulation/ folder works and how it checks mapping in your current backend:

---

How the simulation/ Folder Works

• Purpose:
  The simulation/ folder provides a way to run workflow processes (including mapping, validation, and BPMN logic) in a safe, sandboxed environment using mock or test data.

• Key Files:

AI: : Exposes REST endpoints to start and inspect simulations.

AI: : Contains the logic to execute simulated workflows, including mapping and transformation.

AI: : Registers the simulation controller and service with NestJS.

---

Does Simulation Check Mapping?

Yes, simulation checks mapping.
When you trigger a simulation (via API or code), the following happens:

1. Loads Workflow Definition:
   The simulation service loads the BPMN process definition and the associated mapping configuration (from config or schema).

2. Executes Mapping Logic:

   • The simulation service calls the same mapping/transformation functions as production (usually in
     AI: or related services).
   • It applies mapping rules (source → destination), including transformations like CONCAT, SUM, CONSTANT, etc.
   • For example, if a mapping rule says to concatenate two fields, simulation will join those fields using the specified delimiter.

3. Validates Results:

   • After mapping, simulation checks that required fields are present, types match, and any custom validation rules are satisfied.
   • If there are mapping errors (e.g., missing fields, type mismatches), simulation will report them in the result.

4. Returns Simulation Output:

   • The simulation returns the mapped data, process state, and any validation errors or warnings.
   • No changes are written to production tables; everything is in-memory or mock data.

---

Where Is Mapping Checked?

• Mapping is checked in the same place as production:
  The simulation service calls the real mapping logic (in
  AI: ,
  AI: , or similar).
• No separate simulation mapping code:
  The simulation simply runs the real mapping code with test/mock data, ensuring the same rules and transformations are applied.

---

Summary:
The simulation/ folder works by running the real workflow and mapping logic with mock data, checking all mapping rules and transformations exactly as in production. It reports mapping results and validation errors, but does not persist any changes.

POST /workflow/start
{
"configId": "cfg-001",
"tenantId": "acme",
"initiator": "editor@acme"
}

GET /workflow/tasks?role=approver

POST /workflow/complete
{
"taskId": "123-abc",
"variables": { "approvalStatus": "approved", "remarks": "Ready for deployment" }
}

───────────────────────────────
✅ STYLE & BEST PRACTICES
• Follow NestJS conventions (Controller + Service + Module).
• Use dependency injection for HttpService.
• Apply async/await and proper typing (Promise<any> or typed interfaces).
• Ensure responses and error messages are uniform.
• Add minimal logging statements for visibility.
• Include a clear JSDoc header in each file explaining purpose.

✅ BONUS (optional)
Add a FLOWABLE_DEBUG=true check to log REST payloads and responses in console for local debugging.

───────────────────────────────
Goal: produce clean, production-ready, strongly-typed, modular code that I can drop into the TCS backend to orchestrate workflow state transitions between Editor, Approver, and Publisher using Flowable REST API.
